I think my favorite way to wear fancy, sparkly jewelry is with a really casual outfit. There’s something very Parisian about it, and what do basic American girls like almost as much as froyo and Taylor Swift? Paris.

But really, don’t you love the certain je ne sais quoi of a plain t-shirt and jeans with a pearl necklace, or a big chunky sweater with a gemstone or diamond ring? Not a bad idea for a Thanksgiving day outfit, now that I think about it! That’s an outfit that says “I’m ready for a very cozy but very special occasion.”

Speaking of Thanksgiving, I really truly hope you all have a lovely holiday filled with lots of food and very little talk about the election with your radical uncle.

Nothing special to report today. This is just another outfit I wore to work recently. Oh, speaking of “WORK!” did I mention I’m going to see Hamilton on Broadway? No? Well then I guess I do have something pretty effing special to report today!

We lucked out finding tickets the old fashioned way (Ticketmaster), toyed with the idea of selling them for a profit, but finally decided the opportunity was too awesome to pass up. Jetting off to NYC just to see a Broadway show probably isn’t the most financially responsible option, but life is too short to be responsible all the time. Plus…and you knew this was coming…we are not throwing away our shot!

Look for more of my adventures in New York (the greatest city in the woooorld) on Instagram (@sarahsreallife) in the near future…

If I weren’t trying to conserve funds for my upcoming trip (hey, that’s a little financially responsible), I might be taking advantage of more of these Thanksgiving sales! Shopbop’s* tiered sale (spend more, save more) is going on now through the whole week (details here). I suppose you could get gifts (how cool are these gold patterned champagne flutes?!) but something for yourself would be perfectly acceptable if you ask me!
